Argon drive achitecture

GraniteCore a.k.a. GC is the motor control core developed for Argon (servo drive).

Argon architecture

Argon consists dual CPU architecture which run in tight synchronism and have different tasks:

GraniteCore
I/O side CPU
  • Feed GraniteCore with real time data consisting
    • Position & velocity feedback device data
    • State of physical inputs (enable, clear faults, hall sensors etc)
    • SimpleMotion V2 commands to read/write parameters
  • Interface different types feedback devices and setpoint inputs
  • Handle SimpleMotion V2 communication
  • Display device state via digital outputs and LED indicators
  • Based on ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller running at 120 MHz

I/O side CPU has open source firmware allowing end users to implement additional drivers for feedback devices and/or create stand-alone servo drive applications without external Controller.
